THE TRIBUNE.
PUBLIC LAND.

THE President has ordered the
Secretary Of the Interior to make
the Northern Pacific railroad com
pany locate and identify the land
granted them in Washington Terri.
tory. This company is holding a
fine tract of agricultural land in
Washington to which it has no just
claim, and is preventing settlement.
In reviewing tho case of Guilford l..
Miller, settler, against the rail-
road company, the President says:
This large body of public domain
is still held in reserve, to the exclu-
sion Of settlers, for the convenience
of corporation benefciaries of the
government, and waiting its selec-
ton, though it is entirely certain
that much reserve land can never
be honestly claimed by said corpo-
ration, Such a condition of the
public lands should no longer con
tinue. So far as it is the result of
executive rules and methods, these
should be abandoned; so far as it is
the consequence of improvident
laws, these should be repealed or
amended; our public domain is ma
tional wealth, the earnest of our
growth and the heritage of our peo-
pie. = / suggest. that you ex-
ercise the power and authority you
have in the premises with every
presumption and tntendment in
favor of the settler, and in case you
find this corporation is entitled to
select any more of these lands than
it has already acquired, that you
direct it to select, in lieu of the
land which Mr.. Miller has settled,
other land within the limits of this
indemnity and reservation, upon
which neither he nor any other cit
zen has in good faith settled or
made improvements,

RATHER ROMANTIC.

The following dispatch which W.
clip from the Salt Lake Tribune
would indicate that romance is moi
on the wane in Idaho. The horse
and cattle thieves who have be-
come rather bold and numerous
across the Snake lately are the sub
jects of the story. Just what the
doughty deputy did when he found
himself in the midst of the outlaws,
the narrative does not indicate, but
we presume, that in the truly ro-
mantle style che put the spurs to
his well-trained steed and with a
shout of defiance sped down the
canyon amidst shower of leaden
hail" However that may be, we
sincerely hope that the story isn't a
rhoorback and that the band of
marauders who infest that region
may Do broken up
A Baker City special says that
Andy Newman, deputy sheriff, who
returned from a six weeks unsuc-
cessful search for two horse thieves
accidentally discovered rendez-
.vous for a band of horse and cattle
thieves who for years past have
committed depredations on the
ranges in southeastern Oregon, par
ticularly in Malheur county. The
robbers camp is situated in Idaho,
about 200 miles east of Baker City,
at the confluence of the Grand
Round river with the Snake. Here
to his surprise Newman found him
self in the midst of refugees from
the law, numbering upwards of
twenty-five or thirty men, we'll arm
ed and equipped, ready to set at de-
fiance the officers. The place Sc
leoted for refuge by this band of
outlaws is we'll adapted for their
calling. Little valleys here and
there are nestled between high pre-
cipitous and rugged cliffs and
mountains, some of them affording
an abundance of bunch grass for
stock. Their outlet is across the |
Snake into Idaho, and by this pass
ago hundreds of cattle and horses
are run off from the upper counties
and disposed of to unsuspecting
purchasers in the states and terri
lories.

the genial immigrant agent to the
STROLLER the other day, ''is only a

"There is no doubt but that the

organization | find considerable op-
position on the ground of expense.
There can be no doubt but that to
incorporate with an eye single to
the best interests of Caldwell would
be a good move. The expense
would be almost nominal-in fact
I know of several eastern towns of
from 800 to $500 inhabitants in
which the different city officers,
SO interested are they in their town,
donate their services.
~
eff Caldwell should incorporate"
said Mr.. Sherman Coffin, 81 venture
the assertion that in less than three
years the taxes would be trebled.
If the control Of affairs could be
kept in the hands of the business
men-or men who are anxious for
the town to thrive-it could be run
with comparatively small expense
and would prove beneficial. But
there is majority class all through
the west that seize upon such
things and work them for political
effect"
"And," he continued, "they elect
their men, Immediately vote them
selves large salaries and heavy
debt and no advancement is the re-
suit"
~
While I am inclined to believe
that incorporating is not advisable
at present, still there is another
good side to the question. In the
meanwhile, would it not be good
policy to attempt some united effort
towards street identifying ?
~
"There are many near-sighted
people here" said James S. Neg
ley, "who are continually kicking
against their own interests. What i
We want in this country is capital
We have the climate, we have the {
oil, and we have the market, and
III more that we want is eastern a
'apital to develop our resources"
think SO too. Anything that tends
O invest eastern capital here is a
to this country, be it a
abroad at Nampa or any other
'lace. 1t brings money and
noneyed men into the country and
We all profit thereby. Encourage
astern capital; we need it.

'Were it left to the popular vote

ay. Although I hardly think the
,ove is that strong at present, still
here is every probability that Ada
ounty will be divided in a few
ears. The various ditch and rail-

will soon give southern

A Curious Custom Which Flourish.
ed In a New York Town
Years Ago.

1t used to be the custom many years
ago in old Esopus, now Kingston, for
all thrifty danes to prepare "graye
clothes" for the different members OF
the family. With the growth of child
the old "grave clothes" would be dis
carded-perhaps given to an improvi-
dent or shiftless peighbor to be used in
time of need-and new garments would
be promptly made to replace the old. y
story is told about relative of the late
Judge Westbrook, of Kingston City.
Mrs. IS grave clothes had been laid
carefully away for many long day.
When grown yellow or musSed-looking
the old lady would "do them up fresh"
with her own hands, and feeling of
blissful readiness and security would
again be hers. One day neignbor
called on the old lady, and the latter
was found greatly perturbed oyer some
thing. "Guess you'd be illustrated too"
said the excited dame, "if somebody
came and borrowed your gIaYe clothes
just after they'd all been done up fresh.
That ShiftleSS Miss -, | knew she
wouldn't have anything fit to wear
WREN she came to die; and sure enough
it was borrow, borrow even after her
death. such ShlftleSSness | never
could endure Now I've got to 90 to
work and make up another set, or [
may be catched in the same box" The
old lady, who was then past ninety,
went promptly to work and had fresh
grave clothes made up, and it is assert
ed on good authority that she lived
only few hours after their completion.
